Le sourire de la tarte tatin follows a small ensemble on a tenderly comic quest: convinced that a work of art can ease pain, they set out to find this curative masterpiece as if searching for the Grail. The piece blends intimate realism and gentle absurdity, probing helplessness, friendship and the unexpected discoveries that arise when pursuit alters the seeker. Sparse staging and attentive rhythm invite empathy and quiet laughter.

This original comedy piece by Compagnie Tandem brings together performers Aurélia Loriol, Elie Souarit and Emile Rock after a year of collaborative writing and ensemble rehearsal. Drawing on crossed authorship and collective improvisation, the trio opens a chamber-like world of obsessions and playful surrealities, stretching short sketches into twenty-minute scenes that explore intimacy, identity and scale. The staging favours tight ensemble work and rapid shifts in tone, balancing sharp wit with human vulnerability.
